Soul Fragrance AB IMO PECTORE: Reflections and Musings
Soul Fragrance — Ab Imo Pectore is a collection reflections and musings born from the most unlikely of places: a phone screen, a hospital bed, and a heart learning to beat again.
After surviving a critical brain surgery that stripped away her ability to speak, write, and think, Rajshri began putting words together — first as therapy, then as testimony. What emerged was not a story of suffering, but a luminous map of what it means to rise, to love, and to find light in the spaces where darkness seems absolute.
Arranged across four movements — Rising from the Ashes, The Ones Who Stay, A Lifetime Within a Lifetime, and The Light Within Souls — these thirty pieces move fluidly between verse and prose, tracing a journey from breakdown to breakthrough. Here you will meet the phoenix who refuses to stay fallen, the friend who crosses a city to keep a promise, the mug of coffee that knows how and when to love, and the "insignificant" gestures — a morning text, a gentle poke, a surprise visit — that quietly save lives.
Rajshri writes the way a close friend speaks: without pretence, with warmth, and with the kind of honesty that makes you pause and reach for someone you haven't called in a while.
This is a book for anyone who has ever felt unseen, for anyone who has loved without labels, and for anyone who needs reminding that the light within the soul never truly goes out — it just needs a spark.
Ab Imo Pectore — from the depths of the heart.
